They have all been confirmed for the annual “Summer Nights at the Bandstand” festival at Kelvingrove Park, which boasts a record 11 shows in its line-up this year.

Mark Mackie, managing director of Regular Music, said: “We are delighted to be returning to the bandstand for our fourth year, bringing with us such a stellar selection of world class performers, including the wonderful Brian Wilson on the 50th anniversary of Pet Sounds.”

Sharleen Spiteri, frontwoman of Texas, the pop-rock band formed in Glasgow in the mid 1980s, said: ‘This feels like truly going home to where I spent most of my formative years.

“It’ll be great to have a stage and a PA, just like the six-year-old me running up and down the park singing to an imaginary audience would have wished for.”

Glasgow City Council leader Frank McAveety said: “The Summer Nights concerts at Kelvingrove attract global talent to the heart of Glasgow’s West End and this year the line-up is truly unique.

“Summer Nights has established itself as a key part of Glasgow’s musical calendar and continues to enhance its reputation as a Unesco City of Music.

Ho"Experiencing any of these gigs in this wonderful venue will be a truly unforgettable experience.”
